Ours went up last night, we were assisted by ds1-ds3 (5, 4 & 18 months).
We had to play hunt the bauble before we could hang them as ds3 was throwing them everywhere. Got there in the end though0 -

I plan for it to be up in time for the day the Morris dancers come for lunch. That's the 19th. DH was worried there won't be any left. Hmm[SIZE=-1]"Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad"[/SIZE]
